It's also why the NPC frog has two engage skills. It's also why the CrossOver NPC has a butchered version of squid, as the action skill is now targeted and it can't hit anything with it.

Coding a good A.I. is really hard, especially card-games since its complexity is really high and goes even higher as new cards added, the easiest and most likely the one used in Alteil right now is pre-scripted code mixed with if-then clause table. Maybe they can allocate resources into it after they finished most HTML5 sprints? We have some users (myself included) playing in the single-player arena after all, so Alteil already has a good base for the learning phase.

I have asked MM about it yesterday and his answer can be summarized as "Shouldn't be too hard".

i dont even know why ppl are discussing about greg yet... ts so easy to keep a single bait unit on 1st row and all the rest on the 2nd and 3rd to kill him after the skill trigger. he is targetable by grims and SS. he is vulnerable to any unit of 2 agi or higher there is more ways to kill him than words in this post by far.
